ness Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Makes me want to go to the store and buy 12 heads of lettuce and stage a one-up picture on my ratty old deck, but I don't know if it could handle the weight ? BilletHead 1 John
BilletHead Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 Always wanted a rain barrel, So we ordered one and got it installed. Where we put it water drains from approx 1/4 of the house roof. Had an inch and a quarter of rain and this morning the barrel is full. Sixty gallons. We have it close to the garden pond. We will use this big time watering and topping off the pond due to evaporation. Do not know why it took us this long to get one. May get another. So we are now beyond the last day of the average killing frost in mid west Missouri. How many of you all have tomatoes and pepper plants out ? I think I will start putting them into the ground today.

Quillback Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Put two tomato plants out a week ago, but I am a bit south of ya'll. BilletHead 1
DChance Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Planted our garden yesterday. Tomatoes peppers corn potatoes zucchini onions strawberries cantaloupe watermelon herbs still have to put in cukes and green beans BilletHead 1
MOPanfisher Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 I should have planted yesterday but got busy doing other things, now I have to wait a few days for it to dry out enough to work it. Oh, I am not concerned, don't like having to water in april, so only things I have worried over is the cold frame and strawberries. BilletHead 1
tho1mas Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Not yet - Daddy always said anything below 45 degrees will shock & reduce production (might be an "ole husbands tale". ness and BilletHead 2
jdmidwest Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Planted green beans, cucumbers, and squash today. I have one strawberry turning red. Snow peas are blooming. Still no lettuce, spinach is spotty. ness and BilletHead 2 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
ness Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Saturday I transplanted lettuce and tomatoes. Planted bush beans, beets, radishes and more lettuce. Really scaling back the number of different things this year. BilletHead 1 John
